Hypocritical New York Exempting Hollywood From SAFE Act!

<snip> "We spend a lot of money in the state bringing movie production here, post-production here, so obviously we would want to facilitate that," said Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who wants to expand the film and TV tax credit.

He said movies and TV may use fake guns that wouldn't be subject to the new law but the industry wants "certainty." The revised law would allow them to use real weapons without real ammunition.</snip>

I'm sorry, but why would Hollywood "need" high capacity clips and assault weapons, just to make a film? Are they saying that it would be impossible to make a film with non-assault weapons an 7 round magazines? Will it suddenly emasculate the "hero" or make the villain less "villainous"? And why would they need real guns to film a movie? With the advancements in CG technology, they could easily use much safer and less evil fake guns by simply adding the gunfire effects in post-production. Using a real gun on set is the reason Brandon Lee, Jon-Erik Hexum and Antonio Velasco were all killed while filming. After all, if it saves the life of just one actor, it’s worth it!

Typical hypocrites Jerry!

I wonder if the American people are ever going to get fed up with this garbage and realize how bad we are being screwed... to me, it's just amazing the level things have gotten to in the last 10-15 years.

There went the "realism and accuracy" of the movies. We all know that ordinary citizens and officers can't have those things.
